Jack, Max, and Lincoln Make Their TV Debut!

No, I am not a stage mother.

YET.

My sweet friend, Jennifer, called me a few weeks ago, and asked me if I'd be up for a little Halloween challenge. She works in Public Relations for a local bank and needed some inexpensive, homemade costumes for a spot her bank was sponsoring for a local news show.

And, she wanted to use my cute little precious sweeties as subjects. I was game!

So, I recruited my friend, Jenni, and her house full o' girls (to add some girlyness to the costume fun), and went to work on creating some homemade, inexpensive costumes.

I don't sew. I actually do own a sewing machine, but have no idea how to work it. So, everything had to be glued or taped or pinned or fastened in some raggedy fashion.

Jennifer came up with the idea for Jack's costume. (And, he works it!)

I pulled Max's costume idea from memory. A friend at work used it years ago and it CRACKED ME UP.

And, Lincoln - well, I'm happy to say that his was MY idea. As evidenced by the fact that it fell apart mid-shoot and is in complete and utter shambles at this point.

SO, without further delay - here are my three little sweetie pies (along with some friends) making their TV debut from our living room in their "Made by Momma" costumes!
